About the Role
Heritage Tile is expanding its presence in the Midwest specifier market with a Regional Marketing & Sales Manager anchored at our Oak Park studio. This is a hybrid marketing-and-business-development role — equal parts brand ambassador, specifier-relationship builder, and project steward. You will be the face of Heritage Tile to designers, architects, and trade professionals across Chicago and the broader Central Region, developing the long-arc relationships that drive specifier work.
Oak Park sits at the heart of one of America's richest design legacies. From Frank Lloyd Wright's craft tradition to the prewar apartment buildings still being thoughtfully restored across the Midwest, this region is fertile ground for the Heritage Tile portfolio — Subway Ceramics, Atelier, Viva Tile, Union Station, and Zen+Clay. You will bring our story into design firms, showrooms, and project sites, building the kind of trust that turns inquiries into specifications and specifications into installations.
What You'll Do
Develop the Region
• Cultivate and develop specifier relationships across the Central Region — designers, architects, builders, and remodelers
• Follow up on project opportunities from initial inquiry through specification and order
• Oversee opportunity development across the brand portfolio
Deliver Marketing Programs
• Lead professional CEU programs in design firms and AIA chapters
• Execute multi-channel digital media campaigns aligned to the regional audience
• Introduce the Heritage Tile brand portfolio in studio appointments, showroom presentations, and trade venues
Collaborate Across the Team
• Coordinate closely with Verona operations on project execution
• Maintain consistent, high-quality client outreach
• Partner with Project Services and Customer Support to ensure a seamless specifier experience
